LOGO SYMBOLS NO/ON
The red NO symbol in the logo represents the unacceptability of the use of belts for violence. As also the unacceptability of any violence.
The green ON symbol in the logo indicates that people with allergies to metal alloys can also use the belt, it can always stay on, and there is no need for you to remove it.
We also link both colours to Wood Belt’s impact on nature since we support impact activities in national parks. With green colour, we mark programs for sustainable management of forests, and with red programs to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss.
IMPACT ON NATURE
We use wood industry cutoffs and have a strong connection to nature. Therefore we support United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG) number 15, Life on land.
We named different Wood Belt collections after the most known and beautiful world national parks.
1 EUR from each WB product is donated or invested in projects to impact nature in national parks worldwide positively. We support programs for the sustainable management of forests (marked with green colour as in our logo) and programs to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss (marked with red colour as in our logo).
We are building partners and customer communities with empathy for nature’s challenges.

SOCIAL IMPACT
WB profit is re-invested for the employment of underserved groups, following United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG) number 5, Gender equality.
We include underserved groups in the development, production and sales processes to achieve gender equality and empower women and girls.
The different Wood Belt models are named for their individual qualities and stories.
Belts are crafted by artisans in Slovenia, maintaining craftsmanship knowledge while encouraging inter-generational cooperation of artisans.
The production and sale are based on the WFTO’s ten principles of Fair Trade.
We are building partners’ and customer communities with empathy for society’s challenges.
